Digitisation and the increasing connectivity provided by the Internet of Things (IoT) bring enormous opportunities, but also unforeseeable risks and serious vulnerabilities that can be exploited by new forms of cybercrime. In Germany alone, two in three companies fall prey to hacker attacks every year. TÜV SÜD explains the cyber security threats that companies should watch out for in 2019.

Safety is a central theme in the aerospace industry. Accordingly, the EN 9100 standard sets out a comprehensive quality management system for the sector. This standard has recently been revised and aligned to the latest generation of ISO standards. The EN 9100:2016 standard builds on the DIN ISO 9001 quality management standard and requires a fully traceable recording process across the entire supply chain of a product. Companies also need to define their interfaces with customers and aviation authorities and establish, perform and document verification and validation activities. TÜV SÜD and Hamburg-based company Mankiewicz Gebr. & Co. represent an example of an exceptionally good certification process.

At Medica 2018, TÜV SÜD will debut its portfolio of Medical Testing Services, which provide comprehensive end-to-end support from the initial idea for a product to life-cycle management (Hall 10, Booth C12).

Simulation is bound to play a key role in homologation of automated vehicles in the future, given the countless potential driving scenarios that need to be tested. To validate simulation as a test method in vehicle approval, TÜV SÜD, US AI computing company NVIDIA Corporation, and Austria-based drive system developer AVL GmbH are now embarking on a far-reaching collaboration.

“For a digitally secure future” will be the theme under which TÜV SÜD showcases its services at it-sa, the IT and Security trade fair held in Nuremberg from 9 to 11 October 2018. In Hall 9, Booth 9-458, the cybersecurity experts from TÜV SÜD will inform visitors how companies can master the challenges of digital transformation. As technology changes, so do the requirements for safety and security.
